I got into death metal around ~2000. At that point I reached the incredibly named anus.com.* Y'all might laugh, but this was a super reactionary place at that point. I'll always remember the triggering moment for me: a simple question of whether culture determined race (social constructionism), or whether race determined culture. Just that possibility led me down a rabbit hole that never ceased. My nasty right-wing thoughts ever permeated, and after a touch of Sowell, I was done for.
*These days, some of the reviews on the old website are available at deathmetal.org.
--- a little drunk, so including some links:
**Never stopped creating and being into metal. Recent album from me: https://youtu.be/s3t07Bm_xYc
***and some beautiful metal from one of my favorite metal bands - no worries about wokeness here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX08XkWW7HU&t=1759s
**** and some more nice black metal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIkL52qlcHA
I suppose I'd say it's the way people react to inconvenient truths. You'll never hear someone say "Oh thank god, America isn't murdering black people!" or "Hooray, gender questioning teenagers will accept themselves without intervention!" - the causes they pretend to champion are just excuses to continue their ruinous behaviour.
